Have you repeatedly wondered where the buzzing, chirping, whistling, whooshing, roaring, ticking, clicking or humming noises of your tinnitus come from, and why they are created? If you are similar to the majority of tinnitus sufferers, you undergo subjective tinnitus – meaning that your tinnitus noises can only be heard by you. Tinnitus Sufferer

The human body has the capacity to make many different noises – noises from the circulatory system, skeletal system and even muscular noises from the soft palate. And these noises can filter back to the ears and present as objective tinnitus (tinnitus noises that can be heard by another). But, the human brain has a remarkable capacity to “ignore” these noises so they don’t interfere with the enjoyment of life. In other words, the sounds of tinnitus can be masked by the brain, similar to the way that other, normal body noises are masked.

Unfortunately, for a large percentage of tinnitus sufferers, the noise masking by the brain isn’t effective, and life quality can decrease. When no obvious medical source of these noises can be identified, then the hunt for why these noises are created becomes much more difficult. Simply because no internal source of the sounds can be identified doesn’t mean that there isn’t such a source. The noises that are very real to the tinnitus sufferer may be created by other means.

When no internal source of the sounds of tinnitus can be identified, that doesn’t mean the sounds are imagined because there is no identifiable physical source. There is most definitely a physical cause for these sounds, even if that cause is not producing sounds directly (such as “noisy” blood vessels in the ear).

This cause of these sounds can only lead to the sensation of sounds elsewhere – such as damage in some of the delicate parts of the tinnitus sufferers ears. The area of damaged tissue may not make the sounds directly, but this damage may generate nerve impulses that the ear or brain mistakenly interpret as sound impulses – thus the brain “hears” the sounds of tinnitus when there are no actual sound waves to stimulate nerves that the brain recognizes as sounds.

Even though the sounds of tinnitus cannot be heard by anyone else but the tinnitus sufferer, does this fact make them imagined? Absolutely not – while these sounds may not be physical sound waves in the classic sense, they are still the what the brain perceives as sound, and very real to the tinnitus sufferer.
